PREFACE TO FOURTH EDITION. 

The formulDe contained in these pages have 
now, for more than four j^ears, stood the test 
of critical examination- and use by the best 
Pharmacists and Druo^o-ists in the land. The 
work has been introduced over a wide extent 
of country, and to the most intelligent Phar- 
macists ; and the author is assured b}^ those 
who have it in use, that it supplies the long- 
felt want, and is the long-needed authorit}" for 
the class of preparations which it represents. 

It strikes at the root of the evil that has 
grown out of the introduction of un officinal 
preparations, and enables the Druggist to pre- 
pare uniform, reliable, elegant preparations, 
as lie requires them, instead of depending on 
the variable, unreliable and expensive prep- 
arations of the manufacturers. 

No labor nor pains have been spared to 
make the formulae thorough, expedient and 
reliable, and to furnish the best practical 
methods for making the preparations avail- 
able to all classes of Druggists. 

Trusting that the formulae may tend to the 
advancement of pharmaceutical science, as 
well as to the pecuniary benefit of the Drug- 
gist, the}^ are respectfully submitted by 

31ay, 1878. THE AUTHOR.

ARGUMENT. 
Flegant Preparations. 

This class of preparations have grown 
raiDiclly in public favor, because they aim to 
meet a public want, — the want of reliable, 
efficient remedies, in palatable and elegant 
form. The market is flooded with prepara- 
tions of this class, having more or less of 
merit, according to the integrity and capabil- 
it}^ of the manufacturer, but they have no uni- 
formit}" either in composition, color, elegance 
or reliability, and the phj^sician who pre- 
scribes, the druggist who dispenses, or the 
patient who takes them, has no guarantee 
that they contain what they claim, and no 
remedy for harmful or useless results. 

The aim of these Formulse is to place in 
the hands of the druggist, reliable instruc- 
tions and directions for preparing this class 
of remedies, that thejr maj- Icnow what they 
are dispensing, and be able to assure physi- 
cians and patrons that their preparations 
contain what they represent. Trusting that 
this end maybe accomplished, and that these 
Formulas may meet this general want among 
druggists, the author respectfully submits the 
following pages.

IIN^TRODUCTION. 



These Introductory pages are intended to 
give general directions and instructions for 
manipulating the various Pharmaceutical pro- 
ducts, known as Elegant PreiDarations. 
Special processes or directions will be given 
tinder the formulae in which they may occur. 
Everj^thing that is now in general use 
throughout the country, in the line of Ele- 
gant Preparations, is comprised in this For- 
mulary. New, or Special Formulae will be 
furnished upon application by letter to the 
author. 

Blank pages are left after each section for 
the insertion of such new or special formula 
as may be desired 1)}^ the druggist. The in- 
structions and formulae are all numbered, 
and particular attention must be paid to the 
figures in parenthesis, throughout the work, 
as they refer to the various processes or 
articles to be employed. Follow the instruc- 
tions and formulae closely, and if any diffi- 
culty should be experienced in any of them, 
write to the author for instructions, stating 
the difficulty clearly and distinctly.

GENERAL REMARKS. 



The True Oil of Cinnamon mentioned in 29 
is the oil from the inner bark of Cejlon Cin- 
namon. There is in the market a True Oil of 
Cinnamon, made from the leaves instead of the 
bark. It has an odor resembling Oils of Bay 
and Cloves mixed, and is not admissible in the 
preparations. 

The Oil of Cassia, made from the coarser 
Cinnamon barks, is generally used in the 
flavoring, but it is usually labeled Oil of Cin- 
namon. 

Oil of Nutmeg may be used instead of Oil 
of Coriander in the flavoring; but it is not 
generally as well liked as the latter. 

If Fluid Extracts are used instead of drugs in 
the formulas for Elixirs when drugs are directed, 
omit tlie Percolating Menstruum, Sugar and 
Prepared Flavoring and use Elixir (34 , enough 
to make the required measure when completed. 

In making Fluid Extracts the index refers 
to the No. of the Formula ; look under which 
class It comes ; then substitute the name of the 
drug and the name of the menstruum for the 
words drug and menstruum in the process em- 
ployed. 

(1) 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



A little Powdered Charcoal sprinkled in 
the filter will usually remove any cloudiness that 
ordinary filtering may fail to remove. 

The color may be removed from Liquors and 
from many tinctures, etc., by filtering through 
animal Charcoal. 

Wines or Liquors that have become inky 
or dark colored by contact with iron, can be 
restored by adding sw^eet milk, about 1 ounce to 
the gallon. Allow to stand, and filter. The 
caseine of the milk unites with the Tannate of 
Iron and removes it. 

A little Tannin added to vehicles for covering 
the taste of Quinia, renders the Quinia insoluble 
and so disguises its taste. 

Using Cinchonidia instead of Quinia. — 
Owing to the recent high price of Sulphate of 
Quinia, Sulphate of Cinchonidia has come into 
very general use. Without discussing its thera- 
peutic value, it may be simply stated that many 
of the manufacturers are using it almost alto- 
gether in preparations claiming to contain 
Quinine; and also its use is not recommended 
in place of Quinia, still it ma^ be used in any of 
the formulae where Quinia is directed. Use 
one-third more of it than is directed of Quinia. 
It will also be found necessary to use more 
Aqua Ammonia to neutralize, than is directed 
in the Formulae ; and 1 ounce of Alcohol should 
be used in place of 1 ounce of Elixir, in each 
pint. 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



Elixir Lactopepttne. The Lactcpeptine 
can be more readily dissolved by adding 1^ 
drachms Muriatic acid in each pint, although its 
addition seems incompatible with some of the 
ingredients claimed in the powder. Color if 
detired with a little Cochineal. 

Tannin must be Removed from Wine, as 
directed (701), when desired to make Bitter 
Wine of Iron, Wine of Beef and Iron, and 
Wine of Pepsin, or good preparations cannot be 
expected. 

Wine of Beef and Iron, as made by some 
of the manufacturers, only represents 1 ounce of 
Beef in each ounce of the preparation. If it is 
so desired, use only ^ ounce Extract of Beef in 
a pint. Precipitation is less liable to occur with 
this amount. 

Elixir and Syrup Hydrate of Chloral 
should be freshly made for dispensing, as they 
deteriorate by age. 

Bay Rum is readily colored by adding to it a 
little Liquor Potassa or Borax. They also give 
it the ''soft feel" that is desired by barbers. 

It sometimes occurs that Elixirs containing 
Iron, after long standinor, gelatinize; this same 
condition occurs in Fluid Extracts that contain 
the principle, Peptine. To restore Elixirs or 
Fluid Extracts that have become gelatinized, 
warm them by Water Bath until liquefied, and 
add a little Aqua Ammonia. 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



Fereiphosphated in these formulag refers to 
the use of Pyrophosphate of Iron, and the prep- 
arations so designated are mostly h'ght-colored. 

Ferrated refers to the use of Citrate of Iron, 
and the preparations so called are dark- or wine- 
colored. 

The use of these terms is not the same by 
different manufacturers, some calling the light- 
colored iron preparations Ferrated. 

The Strawberry and Riispberry Extracts are 
usually colored red; the Sarsaparilla, brown ; 
Lemon, Orange, etc., yellow. 

Lemon Coloring A fine coloring for Ex- 
tract Lemon, Orange, etc., can be made by 
grating the outside peel of fresh lemons or 
oranges, and macerating for some lime in Alcohol. 

Extracts Lemon, Orange, etc., are best 
made from the Forrnulse 301, 303, etc. The 
advantage is that they mix readily with syrups 
or aqueous solutions, without making a cloud or 
milkiuess, as is the case when stronger ex- 
tracts are used. A larger quantity of the^e can 
be used. 

The essences also, as Almond (282^, Anise 
(283), Caraway (287), Cinnamon (292 , Pep- 
permint ^305), Fennel (29T), Spearmint (312 , 
etc., are vt-ry convenient for makin^j medicated 
Waters, S}rup'^, etc., extemporaneously, as they 
mix readily a-s above explained. 

Stronger Extracts can be made by using 
double the amount of the Flavoring Oil, and 
Cologne Spirit without dilution, omitting the 
other ingredients. 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



Solution Phosphoric Acid >^No. G20 , and 
Dilute Pliosphoric Acid (No. 621^, mu>t make 
no cloud or j)recipitate when mixed with Tinc- 
ture Muriate of Iron. 

As much of the Glacial Phosphoric Acid of 
commerce contains Phosphate of Sodium and 
()t\n-v impurities, it is necessary to continue ihe 
ht^at for along time, in order to convert the 
phosphate into a Pyrophosphate; sometimes, 
also, more nitric acid than the formulce direct, 
is nece-isary. 

When making these solutions, test with Tinc- 
ture of Muriate of Iron occasionally. If no 
cloud or precipitate is formed, it is all right, but 
should any cloudiness orcur, add a little more 
Nitric Acid and continue the heat until it will 
stand that test 

Dilute Phosphoric Acid may be conve- 
niently made by adding 2 fluid-ounces of the 
►"•oluiion Phosphoric Acid to 10| fluid-ounces of 
distilled water. 

Solution Phosphate of Lime may be made 
ac'-ording to the fine print in Formula No. 023, 
and answers very well lor moBt purpos^ s. 

Solution Lactophosphate of Lime may 
be made from the Solution Phosphate of Lime, 
]:re[)ared as above, by adding to each 1 ounce of 
the Solution, 1^ drachms lactic Acid, This 
answers for ir.ost purposes. 

Solution Pyrophosphate of Iron (No. 
620 . Add 1 ounce Prepared Flavoring to ea< h 
pint, to keep from mould ng. 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



Pyrophosphate and Citrate of Iron and 
BiSMCTH bbcome insoluble by long standing. If 
they do not readily dissolve by following the 
directions, 8, 9, 10, they should be discarded as 
unfit for use. 

Do not use a high degree of heat in dissolving 
these salts. 

When Quinia is to be dissolved in cold 
weather, it is best to warm the menstruum to 
about 100 degrees (IP. 

Be sure Quinia is all dissolved before adding 
other p'-eparations. 

It is advantageous to keep on hand, Solu- 
tions of Bismuth, Citrate, and Pyrophosphate of 
Iron, Strychnia, and such other salts as come in 
frequent use. They are convenirnt in dispen- 
sing, outside of their use in the Elegant Prep- 
arations. 

When Syrups are made by Percolation, a 
diaphragm of perforated tin, wood or porc( lain, 
should be placed at the bottom of tlie j)ercolator, 
so that the sugar will not mass in the neck, and 
hinder percolation. It should rest on the 
shoulder of the percolator, a half inch or so 
above the neck. 

Do not use tin with acid or iron preparations. 
Such diaphragms are convenient in percolating 
drugs as well. 

The Syrups in the Formulae are made 
heavy with sugar, and so designed ihat they 
may keep a long lime. In Syrups required for 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



use in cool weather, if 16 ounces of sugar are 
directed in the formula, 14 ounces may be used 
instead, and 1 ounce of water added to the 
menstruum. 

The NAME " Churchill " as applied to the 
Syrups of Hypophosphites, has led to much 
confusion, as in different parts of the country, 
different preparations are sold by that name. 
As Churchill first introduced the Hypophosphites, 
they all bear his name. 

To obviate this confusion, instruct your phy- 
sicians to designate the Syrups by the names of 
the Salts which they contain. 

Syrup Ipecac, as made from the Formula in 
the Pharmacopoeia, always has a cloudiness or 
precipitate. A beautiful clear syrup can be 
made as follows ; 

Take of Fluid Extract Ipecac, 1 ounce, 

"Water, 8 ounces. 

Sugar (Avoirdupois wt.), 14 ounces. 

Mix the Fluid Extract with the water, and 
filter ; then dissolve the sugar in the filtrate, 
either by percolation or heat. 

Other Syrups, such as Seneka, Squills 
Compound, Sarsaparilla Comp., StillingiaComp., 
etc., when made from Fluid Extracts, are best 
made as above; by mixing the required amount 
of Fluid Extract with enough water to make 
9 ounces, filtering, and then dissolving 14 ounces 
of sugar in the filtrate. Add Carb. Magnesium 
to the filter, if necessary to make clear. 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



Removing Tannin. 

General directions for removing Tannin will 
be found on pp. 18 and 19, and for Detannating 
Wine, on p. 240. 

The Hjdrated Peroxide of Iron, as pre- 
pared (841 ), maybe used to remove the Tannin 
from Elixirs, but is not admissible in Wines, as 
it destroys their acidity and flavor. This method 
of removing Tannin has been in use for a 
long time, but as the Hydrated Peroxide of 
Iron is usually prepared, the process is tedious 
and slow, and it is useless after standing Fome 
time. As prepared (841), however, it can be 
quickly made without much trouble, and will 
keep for any length of time without change. 
As some still prefer the Iron process for re- 
moving Tannin, it is given here for convenient 
reference. 

After preparing the Hydrated Peroxide of 
Iron as directed, mix from ^ to 3 ounces with 
each pint of the Elixir desired to be dttannated, 
allow to stand 24 hours, shaking occasionally, 
and filter ; test, as directed on page 18, for Tan- 
nin, and, if any be present, add more Hydrated 
Peroxi-le of Iron, and proceed as before, until 
detannated. 



THE SELECTION, PRESERVATION, 
AND PREPARATION. 

1. Selection of Drugs* 

Without good material it is of course im- 
possible to produce good results ; you cannot 
expect to make a good simple elixir from in- 
ferior or worthless oils, nor can you expect 
to produce so good an Elixir of Calisaya 
Bark from an article that costs only 20 or 3(> 
cents a pound, as from one that is worth fire 
times that amount. 

Never try to work up worthless or spoiled 
material into an elegant preparation. 

3. Tlie FlaToring Oils, 

especially the Oil of Orange^ should be kept 
in a cool, dark place and in colored bottles. 
The Flavoring when made up will keep per- 
fectly under ordinarj^ treatment for any length 
of time. 

Buy your flavoring oils and chemicals of a 
house of established reputation, and submit 
them then to the test of jouy judgment be- 
fore using them. 

3. Preparations containing Iron, 

should be kept in colored bottles, and not ex- 
posed to the direct ravs of the sun. 

(9) 



10 fenner's formulary. 

4. The Baseis of the Preparations most 
commonly used: 

Elixir, (simple), Elixir Calisaya, Elixir 
Gentian, Elixir Pepsin, &c., should be kept 
on hand in quantity, their various combina- 
tions can then be made up in a short time. 
It is unnecessary to keep large quantities of 
any but those in most common use, prepared, 
as most of them can be made up while a cus- 
tomer is waiting. 



PERCOLATION. 
5. Percolation 

is the process generally employed for obtain- 
ing the strength of Roots, Barks, Herbs, &c, 
although maceration may generally be em- 
ployed b}^ those who prefer it. The follow- 
ing in regard to percolation, from the TJ. S. 
Pharmacopoeia, is inserted here for reference : 

" The substance to be subjected to percolation, after 
having been reduced by sifting to a uniform powder of 
the fineness indicated in the formula, is to be put into 
a basin," and rubbed with a portion of the menstruum 
*' until uniformly moistened." 

'' A portion of the powder is now to be carefully 
placed upon the diaphragm " (a piece of cotton or cloth 
ia the neck of the percolator) 'and pressed gently until 
the muslin, resting against the sides of the percolator, 
just above the neck, is covered with a uniform layer. 
The remainder of the powder is then to be transferred 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. 11 

to the percolator and compressed evenly and firmly, 
and the leveled surface covered with a circular piece 
of moistened muslin or paper, so that the liquid poured 
upon it may penetrate equably and not disarrange the 
powder." 

** The percolator being now properly supported with 
its neck in a bottle previously marked, for the quan- 
tity or quantities of liquid to be percolated, the men- 
struum is to be poured on until the space above is 
nearly filled ; and a layer of it must be constantly 
maintained above the powder, so as to prevent the 
access of air to its interstices, until all has been added, 
or until the requisite quantity of percolate has been 
obtained." 

6. The Proper Fineness of I>rugs 

requiring percolation, in these preparations, 
is given in each formula. The fineness indi- 
cated can be ascertained by reference to the 
Pharmacopoeia or Dispensatory. 

They may be, either ground, powdered in 
a mortar, or bought of a wholesale druggist, 
of the required fineness for percolation. Very 
fine powders cannot be profitably nor con- 
veniently employed for percolating. 



TJSmG FLUID EXTRACTS. 

7. Fluid Fxtraets of Reliable MaUe 

may be used instead of drugs in these prepa- 
rations, although their use, unless the drug- 
gist prepares them, is not recommended, on 
account of their uncertainty and expense. 



12 tenner's formulary. 

As each fluid-ounce of a Fluid Extract is 
intended to represent a troy ounce of the 
drug, the same fluid measure as is indicated 
of troy weight, should be used when they are 
adopted. 

DISSOLYING. 
8. Citrate of Bi^mntli and Ammouiuiu 

(Soluble Citrate of Bismuth) should be 
rubbed down in a mortar, and then dissolved 
by adding two drachms of Hot Water to 
each drachm of the Salt, and Water of Am- 
monia, drop by drop, until the solution is 
clear. Use no more Water of Ammonia than 
is necessary for this result. 

This Salt must be thus dissolved before 
adding to the menstruum, 

a. If, after standing, any precipitate oc- 
curs, in preparations containing this salt, a 
little Water of Ammonia added will usually 
dissolve it. 

b. Any acid precipitates solutions con- 
taining this salt, hence, care must be taken 
that the elixirs, etc., with which it is com- 
bined, have no excess of acid. 

c. A formulae for a solution of this salt, 
convenient for combining with elixirs, etc., 
will be found among the solutions. (601). 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. 13 

9. Citrate of Iron and Amnioiiium. 

(Soluble Citrate of Iron) dissolves readily 
in hot water, and generally in cold water. 
Use two drachms to each drachm of the 
salt. If the Iron does not dissolve readily 
in the water, add a few drops of Water of 
Ammonia. 

a. Citrate of Iron and Quinia^ Citrate 
of Iron and Strychnia^ and other combina- 
tions of the Citrate of Iron, are dissolved in 
the same manner ; Ammonia must not, how- 
ever, be added to the combinations containing 
Quinia. 

These salts must be thus dissolved before 
adding to the menstruum, 

b. A formula for a solution of Citrate of 
Iron and Ammonium, convenient for com- 
bining with Elixirs, etc., will be found among 
the Solutions. (603). 

10. Pyrophosphate of Iron 

is best dissolved by agitating with two 
drachms hot water to each drachm of the 
salt ; the heat should be continued until the 
solution is complete. 

It can also be dissolved readily, by rubbing 
fine with an equal bulk of sugar, in a mortar, 
and adding cold water in the same propor- 
tions as above. If the Pyrophosphate has 



14 FENNER^S FORMULARY. 

become old and dull in appearance, it is 
sometimes necessar}^ to add a few drops of 
Water of Ammonia, to make the solution 
clear. 

a. An excess of acid precipitates solu- 
tions of this salt. 

This salt must he dissolved before adding 
to the menstruum. 

b. A formula for a solution of Pyrophos- 
phate of Iron, convenient for combining with 
Elixirs, etc., will be found among the Solu- 
tions. (626). 

11. Quinia Sialts, 

unless otherwise directed in the formula, must 
be dissolved by rubbing in a mortar with 
separate portions of the menstruum, and 
allowing to stand until the solution is com- 
plete. The solution of Quinia Salts is 
facilitated by warming the menstruum to 
about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. 

a. When Citric Acid is used, the Quinia 
must first be rubbed with a portion of the 
menstruum, and then the acid, previously 
dissolved in a little water or elixir, added. 
Do not rub the acid with the Quinia before 
dissolving, nor add its solution to the Quinia 
until the Quinia is first rubbed up with a 
portion of the menstruum. 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. 15 

b When Water of Ammonia is added to 
neutralize the acid in the solutions, care must 
be taken to add just enough, and no more, 
as an excess of Ammonia precipitates the 
Quinia. This can be ascertained by testing 
with test paper, or usually by observing the 
solution as 3^ou add the Ammonia. It should 
be added drop by drop, until the solution 
loses its blue color or tint, and becomes 
clear and transparent. The Aqua Ammonia 
should be mixed with about twice as much 
Elixir before adding to the Solutions. 

12. CincliOiLidia. 

The same general directions apply to dis- 
solving Cinchonidia as Quinia. A little 
more Aqua Ammonia is usually required to 
neutralize. 

13. Stryclmia Salts 

must be dissolved by rubbing in a mortar, 
with separate portions of the menstruum, or 
with hot water. 

a. When combining Strychnia with other 
preparations, be sure that it is all dissolved 
before adding the other ingredients. 

b. As an extra precaution, all preparations 
containing Strychnia should be filtered after 
it is added. 



16 FENNER^S FORMULARY. 



c. A formula for a solution of Sulphate 
of Strychnia, convenient for combining with 
Elixirs, etc., will be found among the Solu- 
tions. (621). 

14. Saltjs in Crystals, 

like Bromide of Potassium, etc., should be 
made fine in a mortar, before adding to the 
menstruum. 

15. Otlier SJalf s 

mentioned in the formulae, are readily soluble 
in the menstruum ; wherever difficulty might 
be expected, definite directions are given in 
the formulas. 



FILTERIISTG. 
16. Too mncli Importance 

cannot be attached to this process, as upon 
it depends the elegant appearance and bril- 
liancy of the preparations. It is but little 
trouble to filter nearly everything in the line 
of Elegant Preparations, and the result amply 
repa^^s the outlay of time. The porcelain 
filter holder, and the wire filter rack, are 
very useful adjuncts to the process of filtering, 
and substances ma}^ be filtered very rapidly 
by their use. In absence of these conven- 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. IT 

iences, some sticks or pipe-stems put inside 
the funnel, will keep the filtering paper from 
" hugging " the funnel, and greatly facilitate 
the process. 

17. For Filtering Elixirs, Wines, Solu- 

tions, etc., 

the ordinary filtering paper should be used. 
For filtering Glycerites, Syrups, etc., the 
ordinary flannel filter is the best. 

18. In RemoTing Tannin, 

the elixir treated should first be filtered 
through a muslin filter, as it is mucn more 
expeditious. 

lO. Elixir Pepsin, 

made from the stomachs, should be run 
through a muslin filter several times before 
filtering through paper. 

30. All Preparations with wliicti Strycb- 
nia are combined, 

should be filtered after the Strychnia is 
added, as a precaution against accident. 



18 fenner's formulary. 

REMOVING TAlSriSriK 
J81. First Process. 

Take the required amount of Albumen 
(white of egg), as is directed in each formula 
in which it is desired to remove the Tannin, 
and beat it with a portion of the elixir being 
treated, to mix it thoroughly ; add the balance 
of the elixir, shake ; and allow to stand four 
daj^s, shaking up every day; then filter 
through muslin or paper, (18) pouring back 
into the filter again, the first portion that 
runs through. 

S2. Owing to tlie di^erenee in tlie Qual- 
ity of* l[>mgs, 

it may be that the designated quantity of Al- 
bumen would not be enough to remove all 
the Tannin ; this can be readily ascertained 
by testing a little of the elixir, after filtering 
with Tincture Muriate of Iron ; if Tannin 
be present, it will show an ink}^ color, and 
must be treated with a little more Albumen, 
as before. This process removes all the 
Tannin, and if the amount of Albumen was 
just enough to remove it, and no more, it 
will require no further treatment^ but if the 
elixir should cloud, or precipitate, after 
standing, it is on account of an excess of 



ETC. 19 

Albumen, which must be removed by the 
following : 

23. Second Process. 

Add the designated amount of Citric Acid, 
and allow to stand four days, shaking every 
day, then filter through paper. 

34. It sometimes occurs 

that the designated amount of Citric Acid is 
not quite enough to precipitate all the excess 
of Albumen, as mentioned in 23 ; in that case, 
the elixirs will cloud up after filtering, and a 
little more Citric Acid must be added, the 
preparation be allowed to stand two or three 
days, and again filtered ; should it then be 
much " acid," it must be filtered through 
Carbonate of Magnesium. This process re- 
moves the excess of Albumen, and the prep- 
aration is ready for use. 

25. The Excess of Albumen 

may be more expeditiously removed by heat- 
ing the preparation containing it to boiling, 
for a moment after adding the Citric Acid, 
which coa^u^a^es the albumen, and then fil- 
tering. 

The Prepared Flavoring must not be added 
until after it is thus removed.

COLORmG. 

S6. It is not I>esirable 

to color many of the preparations for which 
formulae are given, as the natural colors 
usually suffice, and it is difficult alwaj^s to 
get the same shade of color when it is at- 
tempted. The process for coloring is given, 
however, in the formulae for preparations 
that are usually colored by manufacturers, 
and formulae for coloring solutions will be 
found among the Solutions. ''6O45 605). 



WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 

27. Troy Weight 

is the standard adopted in these formulae, in 
conformity to the acknowledged authorities. 
The Tro}^ ounce contains 480 grains, and the 
Avoirdupois ounce only 43 T|^ grains. The 
druggist can readily convert the Avoirdupois 
into Troy weight, by adding 42^ grains to 
each Avoirdupois ounce. 

The measure used is the ordinary Liquid 
or Wine Measure, 

Each pint containing 16 fluid-ounces, 
" ounce " 8 " drachms, 

" drachm " 60 minims. 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. 21 

DOSES. 

28. The Ordinary Boses 

of the preparations are mentioned under 
each one in stating the quantity or quan- 
tities of the medicinal agent that a designated 
amount contains ; for example, under Elixir 
Calisaya Bark, and Pyrophosphate of Iron, 
^'each fluid-drachm contains 5 grains Cali- 
saya Bark, 2 grains Iron,'' it is understood 
that a fluid-drachm, or teaspoonful is the or- 
dinary dose.

FLAYORING. 

29. FlaTOring. 

Take of Oil of Orange, 4 ounces, 

" Caraway Seed 2 drachms, 
" Coriander " 2 '' 
'' Cassia, 2 '' 

(or True Oil of Cinnamon, 1 drachm) 
Oil of Anise, 1 drachm. 

Alcohol, enough to make 20 ounces, mix 
the Oils, and dissolve them with the Alcohol. 
This Jlavoring is used only in making the 
Prepared Flavoring, the Elixir, and the 
Flavored Syrup. It is necessary that only 
the best quality of Oils be used. (1). 

The Oil of Sweet Orange is the best 
and cheapest ; the Oil of Caraway Seed must 
be used, and not the Oil of Caraway Chaff 
that is generally sold. The True Oil of 
Cinnamon makes the finest flavor, but the 
Oil of Cassia will answer. When dissolved 
in the Alcohol as directed, the Flavoring 
will keep for any length of time. See 2, in 
regard to the preservation of the Oils, etc. 

30. Prepared FlaToring. 

Take of Flavoring (29), 2^ ounces. 

Carbonate of Magnesium, 1 ounce. 
Alcohol, 5 ounces. 

Water, 10 "' 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. 23 



Hub the Flavoring with the Magnesium in 
a mortar, add part of the Water and Alcohol 
previously mixed, triturate thoroughly, and 
filter; then add through the filter the re- 
maining Alcohol and Water, and enough Di- 
luted Alcohol, if necessary, to make the meas- 
ure one pint. This Prepared Flavoring will be 
found very convenient to use in preparations 
where it is desired to obtain the strength of 
drugs, or remove the Tannin, as also in 
Syrups, etc., and will be referred to, by num- 
ber, through the Formulary. The flavor is 
much better obtained in this manner than 
when the elixir is used as a percolate. 

The Prepared Flavoring is used, one ounce 
in each pint of the desired preparation.

ELIXIRS. 
31. In tbese Preparations, 

a Simple or Cordial Elixir is used as the 
base, ill the same manner as Water is used in 
dissolving salts, Diluted Alcohol in making 
tinctures, or Simple Syrup in making syrups. 
This base is designated in these pages as 
Elixir ; manufacturers call it Simple Elixir, 
Cordial Elixir, Curagoa Cordial, and various 
other names. 

BS. Care mnst be taken 

in the selection of the materials that enter 
into the composition of these preparations, 
remembering always that good results cannot 
he obtained from poor material, (1.) It is 
also necessary to be careful, cleanly, and 
exact in making them, so that the results 
obtained may please your customers and 
yourselves. 

33. Any Special Combination 

or preparation may be made up in the form 
of an elixir, at the will and judgment of the 
druggist, the Elixir being compatible with 
anything that might be desired in that form.

34. Elixir. 

Take of Flavoring (29) 1 ounce, 

Alcohol, 38 ounces. 

Water, 4|- pints. 

Sugar, (Avoir, weight) 2^ lbs, 

Carbonate of Magnesium, ^ ounce. 

Mix two ounces of the Alcohol with the 
Flavoring, and rub in a mortar with the 
Carb. Magnesium, mix the balance of the 
Alcohol with the water, triturate two pints 
of the mixture with the Flavoring and Mag- 
nesium in the mortar, and filter into the re- 
maining Alcohol and Water ; then dissolve 
in the liquid, the sugar, by agitation, and 
filter the whole through the same filter, to 
make the preimration clear and brilliant. If 
it is desired to flavor the Elixir more, it can 
be readily done by using more of the flavor- 
ing, and, if necessary, a corresponding amount 
of Carb. Magnesium. The elixir will keep 
perfectly for any length of time, and is im- 
proved by age. If Cologne Spirit, of the 
same proof as Alcohol, is used instead of 
Alcohol, a finer flavor will be produced. 

The Elixir as above, is used as a solvent 
for various salts, and as a vehicle for various 
solutions, etc., and may be used as a perco- 
late, but when it is desired to obtain the

35. Percolating Menstmniii. 

Take of Alcohol, 38 ounces, 

Water, 4^ pints. 

Mix and filter through a little Carb. Mag-

This is used merely as a percolate, as the 
strength of the drug is better obtained, and 
the flavor of the Elixir better preserved by 
adding the sugar and flavoring after the per- 
colation and removal of Tannin. 

The proportion of Alcohol and Water is 
the same as in the Elixir^ and after the other 
ingredients are added (36), it is essentially 
the same as the Mlixir (34).

Each fluid-drachm contains five grains 
Calisaya Bark. 

Remark 1. — The Bark used in this Elixir, 
is the Yellow Cinchona or Calisa3^a Bark, 
and is worth from 90 cents to $1.30 per 
pound (1875). 

Other species may be used for making- 
Elixirs of Cinchona, but this Bark meets 
the general requirements better than any 
other, as it contains less astringent proper- 
ties and more of the valuable alkaloids than 
any other variety. 

It should be bought either whole, or ground 
to the proper fineness for percolation, the 
powdered Bark cannot be advantageously 
used. 

Semaric 2. — The quantity of Albumen re- 
quired depends, of course, upon the amount 
of astringent that the Bark contains. 

The amount designated — one ounce in each 
pint — is about the average quantity required. 
Some species, however, require less, and 
some, if thoroughly exhausted, require more. 
The quantity can be regulated by the general 
directions (21, 22), 



EtiXiRS. 39^ 

Remark 3 — Most of the manufacturers do 
not use the Bark at all, in making Elixirs of 
Calisaya or Cinchona, but employ the al- 
kaloids. Formulae for the preparations madae 
in this manner are given (66, etc.) 

Coloring. — This Elixir, when it is desired 
to dispense as Elixir Calisaya^ may be col- 
ored with a little Carmine Solution (605) and

Bemark. — This Elixir may be used instead 
of 65, either as a simple Elixir of Calisa^^a, 
or in its combinations, although its use is not 
generally recommended, as it is not a true 
Elixir of Calisaya Bark. It represents, how-

EMULSIONS. 1.13 



EMULSIONS. 

;S40. An Emulsion 

is a mechanical mixture of an Oil, Balsam, 
or Resin, with a mucilage made of certain 
gums, Albumen, or some other vehicle ; or it 
may be a partial saponification of the Oil, 
Balsam, or Besin, by means of an alkali. 

S41. Use of Emulsions. 

Emulsions are useful in rendering many 
nauseating medicines palatable, and in mi- 
nutely dividing the globules of Oil, etc., 
thereby assisting their digestion. 

Their success depends chiefly upon the 
skill with which they are prepared, and the 
quality of the ingredients used in their compo- 
sition. An agreeable preparation cannot be 
made from a rancid oil, nor a fine looking 
one from poor gum or alkali. 

2^2» Making Emulsions. 

The following general directions should be 
closel}^ observed : 

The Mucilage Syrup must be sweet and 
fresh, and of a uniform consistency. 

Use a mortar of large enough capacity to 
contain all of the preparation that 3"ou desire 
to make, and a pestle with as broad aud flat 
a bottom as possible. 



114 tenner's formulary. 

Put the required amount of Mucilage 
Syrup in the mortar, and Avith the pestle rub 
it around the sides, so that the oil will not 
adhere. Add the oil very gradually, and only 
so fast as it is emulsified, by triturating with 
the Mucilage Syrup, continue the rubbing 
and adding of the oil until the required 
amount has been used, when if properly pre- 
pared, 3^ou will have a uniform pasty mass, in 
which no particles of oil are visible ; then add 
graduall}", and with constant rubbing, the 
required amount of water, and put away in 
well stopped bottles, in a cool place. 

The emulsions, if properly prepared, will 
have a cream}^ color and consistence ; will 
show no particles of oil ; will keep without 
separation, and mix in an}^ proportion with 
Water or Sja'up. The mortar in which they 
are made will not be '' greasy,'' and will wash 
readily in clear water. 

If the oil is added too rapidly, the paste 
becomes ''oiled," and cannot be made into a 
fine emulsion. 

In making large quantities of Emulsions^ 
machinery may be employed to agitate. A 
small churn may be used with advantage. 
An egg beater is sometimes useful. 

The Acacia Syrup (243) will emulsify 
from 60 to 75 per cent, of Oil, if desired.

Take of Best Gum Arabic, in coarse

by rubbing in a mortar, and mix the Solution 

with the Albumen in a wide-mouth bottle or 

jar; add the Gum Arabic, and stir two or 

three times a day, with a stick or spatula, 

from the bottom, until the Gum is entirely 

dissolved ; strain if necessary, stop tight, and 

put away in a cool place. 

This preparation requires 2 or 3 days to 
make, as heat cannot be used. It should be 
kept on hand ready for use. It may be made 
extemporaneously with Pow'd Gum Arabic.

116 tenner's formulary. • 

Remark. — The Stronger Lime Water may 
be used in making any simple emulsion de- 
sired, and is very convenient as it only re- 
quires to be shaken with the Oil or Balsam. 
It is better than any other alkaliin these pro- 
parations. It is incompatible with acids.

duced because of repeated inquiries for relia- 
ble formulae for their preparation. 

The author claims no special merit nor 
originalit}^ for these preparations, but pub- 
lishes them simply as reliable and economical. 
The formulae given for making such Spirits 
or Essences as are officinal^ are not recom- 
mended in place of the formulae in the U. S. 
Dispensatory or Pharmacopoeia, but are 
given as producing more economical prepa- 
rations and in many cases those that will give 
better satisfaction to the trade. 

)S81. Process for malung Essences, etc* 

Only the best quality of Flavoring Oils and 
Cologne Spirit or Alcohol must he used in 
making these preparations. 

The Oils must first be dissolved in about 
four times their bulk of the spirit, this is then 
to be rubbed thoroughly with the Carbonate 
of Magnesium in a mortar, the Sugar is then 
to be added and the balance of the Spirit and 
Water previously mixed to be gradually trit- 
urated with the mixture until it is of a uni-

form consistency, then it must be filtered 
through paper, and enough diluted Alcohol 
added through the filter to make the measure 
required, (1 pint). 

If it should not be perfectly clear after 
filtering, it must be again filtered and a little 
more Magnesium added if necessary to make 
clear. 

The Cologne Spirit used must be of the 
same proof as Alcohol. 

Alcohol may be used instead of it but the 
product will not be so finely flavored.

FLUID EXTRACTS. 
330. Making Fluid Extracts. 

Without attempting to give special form- 
ulae for Fluid Extracts, the author has here 
introduced the processes usually emplo^^ed, 
that are available to the ordinary druggist, 
vfith such practical hints and suggestions as 
will enable a druggist of ordinary ability to 
prepare such Fluid Extracts as his trade may 
demand. 

The best Pharmacists through the country 
are now preparing their own Fluid Extracts, 
and it is to be earnestly hoped that, others 
will follow their example, and that soon all 
the intelligent druggists in the land will be 
dispensing their own products instead of re- 
lying upon the assorted extracts of the manu- 
facturers, many of which are almost worth- 
less. 

331* Tke Processes Employed. 

The following processes are those usually 
emplo3^ed, and the experience of the druggist 
must teach him which to adopt. In fact, no 
one process can be used to advantage in all 
cases, and some little experience may be re- 
quired to enable the druggist to select the 
one best suited to the drug being treated. 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 149 

A close attention to the process, and to the 
following general hints, suggestions and di- 
rections will, it is hoped, aid the druggist in 
his choice. 

The same general directions are adaptable 
to nearly all the preparations, and they are 
divided into groups or classes according to 
the Menstruum required. 

Any Fluid Extract that is oflScinal is fol- 
lowed with the remark U. S. P., and reference 
should be made to the United States' Phar- 
macopoeia, although it may not always be 
advisable to follow the directions therein 
given as the use of glycerine as a portion of 
the percolate has been found objectionable by 
many thoroughly competent pharmacists. 

332. By Percolation and £Taporation. 

The following general directions from the 
United States' Pharmacopoeia, (^page 151), 
are quoted here for convenient reference : 

'^ The quantity of powdered material di- 
rected to be used in each of the following 
formulae is sixteen Troy ounces. 

" The powder is to be moistened with a spec- 
ified quantity of Menstruum, and properly 
packed in a suitable percolator. The surface 
of the powder is then to be covered with a 
disc of paper, and the remaining portion of 



150 tenner's formulary. 

sixteen fluid-ounces of Menstruum is to be 
poured upon it. When the liquid begins to 
drop from the percolator, close the lower or- 
ifice with a cork, and having closely covered 
the percolator, to prevent evaporation, set it 
aside in a moderately warm place for four 
days. 

'' The cork is then to be removed. More 
Menstruum is to be gradually poured on, and 
the percolation continued until twentj^-four 
fluid-ounces have been obtained. Of these, the 
first fourteen fiuid-ounces are to be reserved, 
and the remainder having been carefully 
evaporated to two fiuid-ounces, is to be mixed 
with the reserved portion, and filtered through 
paper if necessar}^'' 

The evaporation should be conducted at a 
temperature not exceeding 160 degrees, and 
some drugs, like Ipecac, etc., must not be 
heated to more than 140 degrees. 

333* By Repercolation. 

The following is an abstract of Squibb's 
method of Fractional, or Repercolation ; 

This process, although tedious, produces 
probably as valuable an extract as can be 
made by the druggist. Some skill and expe- 
rience is required in its use. 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 151 



To make three pints of Fluid extract : 
First. — Take sixteen Troy ounces of the 
Drug, of proper fineness, and three pints of 
the Menstruum required. Moisten the Drug 
with six fluid ounces of the Menstruum, pack 
in a conical percolator, and percolate as di- 
rected (5 j with the Menstruum, receiving the 
product as follows : 

a. 12 fluid-ounces — Reserved. 

b. 6 fluid-ounces. 

c. 8 fluid-ounces. 

d. 22 to 24 fluid-ounces. 

The last portion, d, is forced through by ad- 
ding Water to the Drug in the percolator. 

Second, — Take sixteen Troy ounces of the 
Drug, as before, moisten with b, pack, as be- 
fore, and percolate flrst with c, then with d, 
then add two ounces of the Menstruum, then 
four ounces more of the Menstruum, and 
Water to force the last portion through, re- 
ceiving the product as follows 

e. 16 fluid-ounces — Reserved. 

f. 6 fluid-ounces. 

g. 8 fluid-ounces, 
h. 10 fluid-ounces. 

Third, — Take the remaining sixteen Troy 
ounces of the Drug, and moisten with f, pack 
as before, and percolate first with g, then h, 



152 tenner's formulary. 

then four ounces of the Menstruum, then 
four ounces more of the Menstruum, and. 
"Water to force the last portion through, re- 
ceiving the product as follows : 

i. 20 ounces — Reserved. 

j. 10 ounces — set aside 
to moisten the next batch of Fluid Extract 
of the same kind required. 

Fourth. — Mix the reserved portions, a, e 
and i, and filter, if necessar3^ 

S34. By Pressure. 

The following is an abstract of [N". Spencer 
Thomas' method of extracting the strength 
of a Drug by pressure. 

Although this process does not entirely 
exhaust the medicinal strength of the Drug, it 
produces a better extract than most that are 
in the market : 

First, — Take sixteen Troy ounces of the 
Drug, of the proper fineness, and Menstruum 
sufficient. Moisten the drug with from six 
to ten fluid-ounces of the Menstruum (accord- 
ing to the nature of the Drug), and set aside 
in a wide mouth jar, or suitable covered ves- 
sel. Allow to stand four, days, then press 
out as much as possible with a tincture press, 
and reserve the product. 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 153 

Second, — Moisten the Drug, as before, with 
from five to eight ounces of the Menstruum. 
Allow to stand, and press out, as before, ad- 
ding the product to the portion before re- 
served. 

Third Repeat the second process, adding 

the product to the portions before reserved. 

Fourth, — Repeat the second process, but 
so regulate the last amount of Menstruum 
added as to make one pint of the Fluid Ex- 
tract when added to the portions before re- 
served. Filter, if necessary. 

335. Combination ProcesiS. 

(For making Fluid Extracts.) 

[Substitute the name of the Drug for the word Drug, 
and the nanie of the Menstruum, as found under dasses 
A, B and C, for the word Menstruum in the process. 

To make Three Pints of Flnid. Extract. 

Take 48 ounces of the drug required, and 
menstruum, sufxicient. After having reduced 
the drug to the proper fineness for percola- 
tion, divide it into three equal parts, and pro- 
ceed as follows : 

First — Take 16 ounces (the first portion) 
of the drug and 48 ounces of the menstruum. 
Moisten the drug uiiiformlj^ with from 6 to 8 
ounces of the menstruum, and pack in a 



154 fenner's formulary. 

conical percolator. Ponr upon it menstruum 
sufficient to cover it, and -vyhen the liquid has 
begun to droj), put a cork in the neck of the 
percolator, a cover on the top, and allow to 
stand from 1 to 3 days. Then begin the per- 
colation, after having poured upon it what re- 
mains of the three pints of menstruum. The 
percolate is to be received as follows : 

a. 12 ounces — Reserved as the Fluid Ext. 

b. 6 ounces — To moisten the next portion 
of the drug. 

c. The balance of the percolate. — To cover 
the next portion, after being packed in the 
percolator. 

d. The portion obtained by pressure. — To 
continue the percolation of the second portion. 
The last portion, cZ, is to be obtained b}^ trans- 
ferring the drug to a Tincture-Press, after the 
liquid has ceased to drop, and pressing out 
all tbat is possible. The product of this 
pressure will be from 6 to 10 ounces. 

Second. — Take 16 ounces (the second por- 
tion) of the drug, and moisten with the perco- 
late marked b (6 ounces), pack as before, and 
pour upon it the percolate marked c. Allow 
to stand as before; begin the percolation, 
pour on the portion marked d^ follow this 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 155 

with 6 ounces of fresh menstruum, and re- 
ceive the percolate as follows : 

e. 16 ounces. — Reserved as the Fluid Ext. 

y. 6 ounces To moisten the third portion 

of the drug. 

g. The balance obtained by percolation. 

/i. The portion obtained by pressure as 
before. 

Third. — Take IG ounces (the third portion) 
of the drug, and moisten with the percolate 
marked /, pack as before, and pour upon 
it enough of g and h to cover ; allow to 
stand as before ; begin the percolation, and 
pour upon the drug all that remains of the 
menstruum. When the liquid has ceased to 
drop, remove the drug to the press and press 
out all that is possible, add this to the per- 
colate and carefully measure the product; 
subtract this sum from 20 (the number of 
ounces that are desired from this last pro- 
cess), and on the same drug that has been 
pressed put fresh menstruum enough to make 
up the amount required, when subjected to 
a second pressure ; the amount of fresh men- 
struum added should be about 2 ounces more 
than the deficiency requires. Macerate the 
drug with the menstruum for 24 hours, and 



156 fenner's formulary. 



press out again as before, adding the product 
to the first result. 

Fourth, — Mix the reserved portions, a, e, 
and the product of the Third operation (20 
ounces), to make 48 ounces of Fluid Extract, 
and filter, or allow to settle, and pour oflT if 
necessary. 

Hints and Suggestions. 

The Processes 332, 333, 334, 335, represent 
the methods used by the various manufac- 
turers for making Fluid Extracts, reduced 
and adapted to the convenience and capacity 
of the ordinary druggist. 

The best manufacturers, as well as the 
best chemists and pharmacists, have now 
nearly abandoned the use of heat, or the 
evaporation process (332). 

The Bepercolation process (333) is gaining 
favor steadily, and, if properlj^ conducted, 
makes a very fine extract — probably the best. 

The Pressure process (334) is well suited 
to a certain class of drugs that are difficult 
to percolate : to those tliat '' soften '^ upon 
the addition of the menstruum, and to bulky 
drugs. It has also some very strong advo- 
cates among those who have used it for all 
classes of drugs. 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 15t 



The Combination process (335) may be 
especial I3' recommended to those who have 
the conveniences for employing it, as it com- 
bines the efficacy of the Repercolation with 
the economy of the Pressure process, and 
the extract produced is equal to any that can 
be made. 

The use of Gl^^cerin, which formed such a 
conspicuous feature of the formulae for Fluid 
Extracts in the last Pharmacopoeia, has been 
gradually abandoned in most of the prepara- 
tions, after a thorough trial, by the best 
pharmacists ; and the menstruums, as desig- 
nated in Classes A, B and C, or similar 
menstruums, have been employed. 

The following general suggestions will be 
found of use in making Fluid Extracts : 

336. Tlie Fineness of tlie Brag 

requisite for percolation can generally be as- 
certained by reference to the Dispensatory 
or Pharmacopoeia. When directions cannot 
be found in regard to that, the druggist can 
judge for himself from analogy. 

S37. Mncilaginous Drags 

require a larger proportion of Alcohol than 
most of those not possessing that property, 



158 FENNER^S FORMULARY. 

as the Water " softens " them, and thereby 
hinders percolation. Pressure is best for 
most of them, and also for bulky drugs. 

338. Urngis posseissing Resinouis Prinei- 

ples 

are more readily exhausted by adding a 
small quantity of Sulphuric Ether to the 
Menstruum, say one ounce in each pint of 
the Menstruum used. 

339. TVarm Menstrnnin. 

It is advantageous to warm the Menstruum 
before adding it ; also to keep the Drug in a 
warm place during the process of percolation 
or maceration. 

340. Drugs containing Tolatile Oil 

should be kept as much as possible from the 
air during the process of exhaustion, and 
should not be subjected to heat in making 
their Fluid Extracts. 

341. If Pressure is Employecl, 

the Drugs must be enclosed in a coarse can- 
vas cloth or bag before putting in the press. 
The pressure should be gradual and long con- 
tinued, that the moisture may be as nearly as 
possible extracted from the Drug. A one 



FLUID EXTrwVCTS, 130 

gallon Tincture Press will answer very well 
for most extracts. 

S42. Using Glycerine. 

If evaporation is employed, one ounce of 
Glycerine should be added to the portion to 
be evaporated, in all extracts where the Men- 
struum is part Water. 

343. Acetic or Muriatic Acids 

may sometimes be added in small amounts 
to the percolate, in extracts that tend to 
throw down a precipitate. 

344. In Paclking tlie Percolator, 

it is well to let the Drug remam in the basin 
with the iDortion of Menstruum used for 
moistening it, for a few hours, so that it may 
" swell," and not hinder the percolation. 

345. The Percolator. 

Conical or short cylindrical percolators, 
with a conical bottom, are best adapted for 
Fluid Extracts. 

Gallon tin cans, of propsr shape, with the 
bottoms round, make convenient percolators, 
and can be used for most any of the prepa- 
rations. 



160 fenner's formulary. 

A Trire-cloth diaphragm may be put on top 
of the disc of paper, and a weight on that, if 
necessary, to keep the Drug in place. 

346. For Maceration. 

When pressure is to be used, earthenware 
jars, with small mouth and cover, can be used 
to advantage ; put a cloth between the cover 
and jar to prevent evaporation. 

The Drugs should be stirred up every day 
while macerating. 

347. Filtering Fluid Extracts. 

Fluid Extracts are best filtered through a 
muslin strainer, or paper ; some filter readily 
through paper, while others, especiall}^ those 
from mucilaginous drugs, are ver^^ slowlj^ fil- 
tered through paper, and should be filtered 
through muslin. 

In making up larger quantities, it is best 
to let the sediment settle to the bottom, by 
allowing to stand, and pour off the clear 
extract. 

Many Fluid Extracts, as well as Tinctures, 
precipitate by standing in the light, and 
should be kept in dark-colored bottles.

lation; add Water in the percolator until 4 
pints are obtained ; set this aside ; continue 
the percolation with the Water of Ammonia, 
mixed with 3 pints of Water, and then with 
Water, until the strength is exhausted, or until 
8 pints are obtained. Evaporate this last 
portion by gentle heat to 1 pint, add this to 
the portion previously set aside, and allow to 
stand until the albuminous precipitate has 
subsided ; then ^Dour off the clear liquid. 

This Extract may be used whenever Fluid 
Extract Licorice is directed, and is especially 
adapted to Quinia Mixtures. It is necessary 
to evaporate the portion that contains the 
Ammonia, in order to dissipate the odor of 
Ammonia. Ammonia is the best solvent for 
the sweet principle of Licorice Root.

for which Formulse are here given, are 
chiefly used to combine with other pi'epa- 
rations, and reference is made to them b}^ 
numbers throughout the Formulary. 

Some of the Solutions, however, are dis- 
pensed as prepared from the formulae. 

It is advisable to keep on hand such of the 
Solutions as may be wanted to combine with 
other preparations, as they can then be used 
quickly and readily in the desired combina- 
tions. 

The relative proportion of the Solution to 
the material is given under each article. 

601. Solution Citrate of Bismutli.

Remark, — The Citrate of Bismuth and Am- 
monium contains more or less free Ammonia, 
according to its age, exposure, etc., conse- 
quently no definite directions can be given in 
regard to the amount of Aqua Ammonia to 
he added. It requires enough to make the 
Solution clear or nearly clear, but it must not 
Be so much in excess as to hare much odor 
of Ammonia when finished. It should be 
added gradually until this end is attained. 

60S. Solution Citric Acid. 

Take of Citric Acid, 8 ounces, 

Hot Water, 8 ''

remain until the Solution has lost its stj^Dtic 
taste, its Acid reaction, and will 3'ield no

SYRUPS. 

640. Tlie Syrupis 

for which the following Formulae are given, 
have mostly come into general use and fa- 
vor, although there are no recognized Form- 
ulae for their preparation. 

By keeping on hand the Flavored Syrup, 
most of the preparations can be made in a 
moment by simply adding the required Salts 
or Solutions^ and it is hardly advisable to 
keep them on hand in large quantities. 

The beauty of a Syrup depends upon its 
brilliancy and clearness. A Sj^rup may be 
strained through flannel or muslin, or can be 
slowly filtered through cotton or paper. 
Straining is usually sufncient. 

Most Syrups are better made cold, and it 
will be found much less troublesome to make 
them so than to employ heat. Made in this 
manner, they keep better, and never crj^stallize. 

The Sugar can be percolated with the Water 
and other Menstrua in the. same manner as 
an ordinary drug. If the Solution is not at 
first complete, run the Menstruum again 
through the Sugar until perfectly dissolved. 

The Flavored S^^rup can be used with ad- 
vantage as a base for the officinal Syrups, and

some of the processes here employed may be 
profitably adopted.

two pints of the Water, rubbing thoroughl}^, 
filter, and add the balance of the Water 
through the filter. Put the Sugar in a per- 
colator, and percolate with the filtrate until 
completely dissolved. 

Remark — This is the base of most of the 
Syrups, and can also be used as " Simple 
Syrup '' to advantage. It will keep better 
than the latter, and being nicely flavored, it 
presents a fine vehicle for administering un- 
pleasant medicines.

A good quality of Sherry or Angelica 
Wine shonld be used when wine is directed 
in these preparations. Of course their ex- 
pense will depend in a great measure upon 
the quality of the Wine used. While it is not 
advisable to select a costly^ old wine^ one 
of known purity and good body should be 
used Many of the manufacturers use a very 
inferior quality of Wine, hence their prepa- 
rations spoil, or are unsatisfactorj-. 

A very sour Wine is not admissible. 

701. Removing Tannin from Wine. 

When the Wine, desired to be used, con- 
tains Tannin, [which can be ascertained by 
testing with Tincture Muriate of Iron, as 
directed (23)], add to each gallon from one to 
three ounces hot-boiled milk, and agitate. 
Allow to stand 24 hours, and filter. Should 
Tannin remain, it must be again treated with a 
like portion. The Tannin must be removed^

Water of Ammonia. When a slight excess 
of Water of Ammonia has been added, fill up«M 
the jar with Fresh Water, agitate thoroughh^, 
and allow to stand until the precipitate. sub- 
. sides. Then pour off the Water, and again 
add half as much more Fresh Water ; agitate, 
allow to settle, pour off the Water, and collect 
the precipitate upon a cloth strainer, wash with 
a little Fresh Water, and, when drained as 
much as possible, put in a convenient wide-- 
mouth bottle, and mix the Glycerin thor- 
oughly with it. 

The Glycerin preserves it without change, 
and it is always ready for use. 

The advantage of using the large amount 
of Water, is that the Sulphate of Ammonium 
is dissolved as soon as formed, and the tedious 
washing usually necessary i§ ayoided.

ADULTERATION OF DRUGS. 

Essential Oils (or Ottos, as they are termed by 
perfumers) offer a great temptation to those, 
through whose hands they pass, to adulterate 
them, because of the high price which they com- 
mand, and very few samples reach the retail 
dealer that have not been more or less tampered 
with. 

The articles most generally used for mixing 
with the essential oils are Alcohol, Castor Oil, 
or other fixed oils, and Turpentine. Some of 
the more expensive ottos, however, are mixed 
with other essential oils of less value, having 
similar odors, as Rose with Rose Geranium ; Bay 
wath Cloves ; Almond wath Miribane ; Verbena 
with Lemon Grass, etc., and some with other sub- 
stances, as Santal with Balsam Copaiba ; Anise 
with Spermaceti, etc. 

In fact so general has become the mixing and 
adulteration of essential oils from the manufac- 
turer to the jobber, that often, when they reach 
the retail trade, scarcely a vestige of the original 
otto remains. 

Delicately flavored ottos of low specific grav- 
ity are usually mixed with Alcohol. Those of a 
higher gravity with Cascor Oil, or a mixture of 
Castor Oil, and Alcohol. Some of the heavier 
with other fixed oils, as Mustard Oil, Poppy Oil, 
Cotton Seed Oil, Oil of Benne, etc. Those that 
have naturally a terebin thine odor, or that will 
admit of it, with Oil of Turpentine. 

The presence of these adulterations is readily 
ascertained by observing the following simple 



ADULTERATION OF DRUGS. 379 

directions. If similarly flavored oils of less value 
are used, as in some of the high priced ones, 
these are not so easily detected. 

Alcohol, if present in any oil, may be shown 
by testing with Acetate of Potassium in the fol- 
lowing manner: 

Put in a dry test tube or homoeopathic vial a 
few grains of dry Acetate of Potassium and add 
to it a quantity of the suspected oil ; shake and 
allow to stand for half an hour. If no Alcohol 
is present the Acetate will remain unchanged ; 
but if it be present, the Acetate will be dissolved 
and will remam with the Alcohol in a liquid layer 
at the bottom. 

Only a few grains of Acetate of Potas^um 
should be used, say 10 grains to the ounce, as, 
if only a very small portion of Alcohol be present 
it would not all be liquefied. 

The proportion of A Icohol can usually be ascer- 
tained as follows : — Take a long, slim homoeo. 
vial and paste a narrow slip of paper from the 
neck to the bottom, fill one-half with water and 
mark on the paper where the top of the water 
comes ; then add any definite quantity of the oil 
(leaving room to agitate) and mark the top ; 
agitate thoroughly and allow to stand 24: hours. 
The Alcohol will unite with the water and the 
loss in bulk of the oil, as shown by the slip of 
paper, can be calculated. 

Castoti Oil, on account of its solubility, in 
any proportion, in Alcohol, and its freedom from 
odor, is more generally used than any other oil 



380 tenner's formulary. 

for mixing with the Ottos. It is usually mixed 
with Alcohol, to bring it to about the same 
specific gravity as the Otto with which it is 
designed to be used. When mixed in this man- 
ner, Alcohol will combine with Ottos that are 
not readily soluble in it alone. To test for Cas- 
tor Oil, put twenty or thirty drops of the Oil 
into a small test tube or vial, and heat until it 
no longer gives off any odor of the oil which it 
claims to be. The Essential Oils are vaporized 
by the heat, and if no residue be left it may be 
presumed that no fixed oil is present. If a 
residue remains, apply a higher degree of heat 
until it is scorched^ brown or dark colored. If 
it is Castor Oil the odor is plainly distinguish- 
able ; if it be some other fixed oil, its odor will 
usually betray it. Another simple test for 
Castor Oil is to add a few drops of Alcohol to 
the residue before the increased heat is applied. 
If it be Castor Oil it v/ill dissolve readily, if 
some other fixed oil it will not be dissolved. 
Castor Oil is the only fixed oil th^t dissolves in 
all proportions of Alcohol. 

The quantity of the fixed oil present can be 
calculated by heating any definite quantity until 
the Essential Oil is vaporized, and estimating 
the residue ; but it should also be treated for 
Alcohol (as they are often both present), in 
estimating the total quantity of adulteration. 

Turpentine can usually be distinguislied by 
its odor. The Ottos with which it may be com- 
bined are but few, and of the coarser sort, like 
Cedar, Hemlock, Spruce, Rosemary, Lavender, 



ADULTERATION OF DRUGS. 



Thyme, Tansy, etc. Pour a litile of the oil on 
a piece of paper; if Turpentine be present its 
odor will be plainly distinguishable as it evapo- 
rates. The quantity of Turpentine present can- 
not be very readily estimated, as it is very near 
the same specific gravity as the oils with which 
it is combined, and cannot be well separated. 

BxiLS.^-M CoT^AiBA is scldom used, except in 
Oil of Smtal Wood. As it differs from Otto of 
Santal Wood by being very sparingly soluble in 
Alcohol, it may be thus detected. The differ- 
ence in odor is also distinguishable. 

Spermaceti is seldom used, except in Oil 
Anise, and may also be detected by its insolubil- 
ity in Alcohol. 

The presence of many adulterations in the 
finer Ottos may be ascertained by adding a few- 
drops of Water of Ammonia ; it combines with 
some and not w^ith others, thus liberating their 
odors — when they may be distinguished. 

The Citrine Ottos — Lemon, Orange and Ber- 
gamot — absorb Oxygen rapidly, and become 
terebinthine. They may be restored, if not too 
far gone, by adding an equal bulk of warm 
water, and agitating ; allow to separate, pour off 
the Oil, and repeat until the end is attained. 

A good Otto of E.ose usually has crystals of 
stearopten floating in it, at ordinary tempera- 
ture. If much adulterated, they Avill not be 
present.
